Well it means the elders yes, but they're not always that old, Kotooshu retired (becoming Naruto) in 2014 and he's only 36 now.

Here's a TV special recapping the Basho and talking to a bunch of Rikishi

18:45 or so for footage of Daieisho with his his tiny dog.

Anyway here's a twitter thread about this video if you're interested in the translations:

Lol that Enho story of going make-koshi in his first makuuchi basho and Hakuho collaring him at the heya and telling him he's going to personally train him to death and if he doesn't go kachi-koshi in the next basho he'll retire.

That was a lot of fun, the Hakuho/Enho bout was amazing even if it doesn't mean that much in the grand scheme of things.

NERF THIS!


The Hakuho/Enho match wasn't as ferocious as I expected, but then again, why was I expecting Hakuho to go ham against a stablemate for a non-basho event? Still it was grand fun, and I'm glad to have seen it.

Welcome to Japanese television.

Edit: the social media ban means there's been a dearth of sumo karaoke videos in recent years. A shame, cos some are pretty good.

Yeah I’m preeeetty sure Hakuho would have destroyed Enho in a real bout with something on the line.

But why not make his stablemate look great on TV, knowing you’re on your way out anyway.

personally, i don't buy the 'he wasn't trying' thing. he may not be 100%, he pulled out of the last basho for a reason, but i believe he tried to win that match and just so happened to lose to a dude who knows every aspect of his game. hakuho scouted enho and mentored him for a reason. enho is loving good. beat a yokozuna good.

weird. i've only been following since mid 2018 but i wonder why they went after him when kintamayama had been doing it for years before and themn simultaneously until this last basho?

If you're looking for the most recent Basho, the original broadcasts are still up for now on twitch archives:

https://www.twitch.tv/mbovosumo/videos?filter=archives&sort=time

For older stuff there's still Kintamayama.

As for Natto, looks like the day 15 video is one of the ones to get hit, I can pull day 13 and 14 links from google's cache and those work since he just made them unlisted, but I can't find earlier ones.

Man, Natto’s production quality was really high too. I’m really shocked they’ve gone after him vs the other streamers who have remained untouched... for now?

If I have to go back to NHK summaries I’mma be an unhappy fellow.

I'm not at all shocked they went after the Japanese guy using Japanese audio and generally putting up good production over going after the Israeli guy using basically whatever he can get that day and who's production is basically sometimes having a goofy effect on his cuts and occasionally messing with the font for his subtitles.

I've said it before: I would love to pay one hundred American dollars for access to the NHK broadcasts in English or Japanese, available to stream live or watch later. If chairman Hakkaku-oyakata would like to discuss this with me, I will happily buy him an account.

Confusing people about NSK/NHK aside, yeah it would be nice if the proper NHKG channel was available globally, instead of their NHK-World channel which shows Sumo only on Sundays and only for like an hour.

At least you can pay for a VPN and use Abema, even with a free vpn it's watchable.

I thought I remembered NHK World showing daily recaps at like.. 5pm EST. But I use their streaming app.

And anyway, I got so used to watching Sumo first thing in the morning when I get to work that I’m not sure I can go back. Also the lack of commentary (which I can comprehend) is a blessing.

Yeah they release those recaps too, but I'm not sure if you get them on NHK-World, which is like an actual channel available on Comcast or whatever.
